Disney is making some pretty big changes to this one restaurant.
Seasonal Menus
Disney World dining locations are no stranger to seasonal menus. For example, at the International Flower and Garden Festival one booth has a rotation of menus throughout the festival. Jaleo’s in Disney Springs also recently offered some strawberry-infused dishes as we welcomed spring.
It is a way for Disney to keep things fresh and exciting throughout the year. We saw a lot during the 50th anniversary as well. One in particular that comes to mind is California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
The next seasonal menu change is over at Hollywood Studios.
Hollywood Brown Derby
Located at the crossroads of Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is The Hollywood Brown Derby. This signature dining restaurant is favorite among many Guests for several reasons. All of Disney World’s restaurants tell a story, and The Hollywood Brown Derby is no different.
From the food to the service to the story of The Hollywood Brown Derby, I truly believe this restaurant should make it to the top of your dining list for your next trip! Check out these five reasons why!
Seasonal Menu
The culinary team has masterfully put together dishes featuring the freshest of ingredients for the summer and created a menu that will leave you and your taste buds wanting more.
Let’s take a look at some of the new options!
Appetizers
For appetizers, the Crab Louie features crispy olive bread, citrus blend, fried capers, and Louie sauce. For those shrimp fans out there, the Shrimp Cocktail is topped with shaved fennel cucumbers and a traditional cocktail sauce.
The Heirloom Tomato and Burrata Salad combines shaved onions, Thai basil, gremolata, and a delicious citrus vinaigrette into a can’t-miss dish, while the Charcuterie Board features the Chef’s selection of cured meats, cheeses, and accompaniments.
For the more adventurous eaters, the Escargot is accompanied by roasted garlic béchamel and crispy prosciutto and the Roasted Bone Marrow is composed of braised beef, pickled mustard seeds, and a fig bread crostini.
Entrees
The entrée menu is packed with flavorful delights with a variety of options for everyone to enjoy. The classic Filet Mignon is paired with glazed carrots, potato pave, horseradish cream, and a tasty peppercorn sauce to finish it off. The Lamb Shank is accompanied with summer vegetables, harissa vinaigrette, and nasturtium chermoula.
The new Free-Range Chicken and Dumplings brings together these two classics with a lemon-ricotta Gnudi, shishito cream, and a gooseberry jus. If you like pork, the recently added Grilled Pork is right up your alley with a mouthwatering lavender-sage polenta and local corn salsa, complete with a huckleberry barbecue sauce.
The seafood aficionados have a couple options to choose from as well – the new Sustainable Fish and the Seafood Cioppino. The Sustainable Fish with white bean ragout, derby summer vegetables, and roasted tomato emulsion is a lovely addition to the menu while the Seafood Cioppino brings together favorites from the sea with shrimp, sea scallops, seasonal fish, mussels, a toasted baguette, and aromatic tomato broth.
The Shepherd’s Pie is a plant-based option that combines roasted garlic mashed potatoes, mushrooms, peas, corn, and carrot Romesco.
Favorites like the Cobb Salad and Grapefruit Cake are not going anywhere! Woohoo! What do you think of these changes? Let us know in the comments below. Be sure to share this with a friend who loves The Hollywood Brown Derby.
